  • Fill out all the relevant contact details for the warranty account.

Invoicing

  • Click the <Invoicing> tab.
"Centre Modifier"
Type 'W' and then press <Enter>and then press <Enter> on the warning message that is displayed.
"V.A.T. rate:"
Set to the Exempt Rate set for your system.
"Payment Centre:"
Get the cursor in the Ledger Centre field and press <Ctrl+F1> to bring up a search box, and then type 'warranty' and press <Enter>. Select the one entitled "Warranty Control". If one doesn't exist, contact your Accounts Department and ask that they create one for you.
"Cash Sale:"
Set this 'No', that way, when you invoice out to the Warranty Account from the Workshop, they will sit as a Debtor and make pulling off a Warranty Debtors list more straight forward.
"Internal:"
Set this to 'Yes' (Transactions to internal accounts are considered "Outside the Scope" for V.A.T. purposes and will not appear on your VAT100 report).
